2 weeks, 13 cities, and 3000km later, my lifelong dream of traveling Cuba is complete. With a backpack in hand, 2 compañeros by my side (Elaina Nakhleh and Sebastian Blati), and our starry-eyed longing for adventure, we set off on our journey. Navigating our rental car with only a paper map, and no pre-booked accommodation, our faith in the country allowed us to meet the most interesting of characters and enter the humblest of homes.

VARADERO:

We landed in Varadero, a petite coastal town more commonly known for it's large touristic all-inclusive holiday packages, which we steered clear from. Instead, we roamed around the town on foot.

This young boy Javier was one of many Cubans with heterochromia, making for a very interesting gaze into my lens.

After baseball, it was apparent that the country's national sport was dominoes, played most notably in the streets, where everyone gets an invite.
